Here is a list of places you can safely delete temp files:
1. C:\Temp (If it exists)
%User% = All Created Users ***Not including All Users, Default Users,NetworkService,Local
Service, or anything similar to QBData, McafeeUser, etc.
2. C:\Documents and Settings\%User%\Applicatio
n Data\Temp
3. C:\Documents and Settings\%User%\Applicatio
n Data\Temporary Internet Files\
4. C:\Documents and Settings\%User%\Applicatio
n Data\Temporary Internet Files\Content.ie5 (For current user, Microsoft hides this folder (Even if showing hidden/system files))
5. C:\Windows\Temp
And the next few only if you are not worried about not being able to uninstall windows/microsoft updates!
C:\Windows\$Hf_Mig$
C:\Windows\$NTService...$
C:\Windows\$NtUninstall...
$
Hope this helps!
